Writes Letter 20 the President,
\ correspondent send us n letter
which he says accidentally came into
his possession, and wishes us to pub.
lish it:
To THE GREAT FATHER AT WAsnixG.
ToN:--My people wish me to write and
tell you Of our many troubles and ask
your assistance. Our neighbors, the
pale faces, swindle us on every occa.
sion. They can't even play an honest
game Of poker. One of our most ex.
pert young men, only last week, lost
two ponies while playing this very in.
teresting game with one of these dis
honest persons. The young brave
had dealt himself a full hand from the
hottnm oi the deck, and thought ht
had the dead immortal cinch"-so
speak--on his opponent, when 10 and
behold. this chalked-face son of a gun
showed down four aces, and got away
with the boodle.
These disagreeable people accuse us
OF being thieves, and have even gone
so far recently as to arrest two of our
brightest young men and conine
them in vile prison, where, I am in
formed on good authority, they are
only permitted to eat three times II
day, and all this because they pre-
ferred to ride rather than walk. Our
neighbOrs also covet our lands
and want us to give up our big rcser-
vation, and say we must take a farm
of 100 acres and go to work. Did
you ever hear anything so absurd ?
1t is against the traditions of our
tribe, against the practice OF our faith
ers and most decidedly against our
inclinatiOns. to do any kind of work.
Our people amt built that way. In
fact the only thing at allrobu.t about
them is their appetites.
Now we learn that there is n pow
erful and wealthy tribe who live
near the rising sun. in a country
called Boston, who are known as the
"BeaneaterS." This tribe are our
friends, and are much in love with u,
and our ways, and we are told that
their ancestors NJ one time practice,l
burning their enemies at the stake. "a
custom, as you probably know we
have not entirely abandoned. n these
good people, who are so far away,
take such an int in our welfare.
would they not b- greatly pleased to
have us live near them, where they
could enjoy our society and have an
opportunity to learn more fully of
the beauties and simplicity Of ourhab-
its and Gust ons.
Now We ask he Great Father to
secure home for us near our dear
friends who take such II deep inter
est us and will only to be too glad to
fully provide for IT, out of their
great abtindance. AMI then shall W.
no longer be compelled to live in this
unpleasant state OF "olnoxiou- .le--

GREAT BOOMERS.

A few weeks ago, we told cur readers
how to "blow up town without dyna
mite" We didn't think, at the time. that
there were men in Austin who would
carry out the Instructions contained in
the article, but it seems there are some of
these boomers among us, who are doing
what they can to elbow up the town.
We should say that these boomers" have
doomed the town, after their fashion,
too long already. Austin has had enough
of their services as ''boomers' and is will
ing and anxious that they should retire.
Austin is willing tnat they no longer 90
about crying down every contemplated
Improvement, and discouraging every
stranger who talks of locating here.
They have performed this laborious duty
long enough, and Austin is ready to put
these boomers" on the retired list. They
have nobly done their work, and may rest
assured that the people Of Austin appre-
clate their efforts. These boomers
may find it hard to realize that their 'oc-
cnpation's gone, but it is time fer it to
60. Austin is weary Of them. We trust
that they will be weary Of themselves,

There are several additions to the
record of Improvements, this week. The
list is growing to such length, as to
warrant US in predicting that Austin is
to have a period of marvellous growth.
Every week sees new people locating
here, snd new enterprises started. Aus
tin is attracting the attention Of the en-
tire northwest. 1t has inaugurated a
boom. and it depends on the people of
Austin to keep it up. We believe that
1t will be kept up. aud will assume such
proportions as to surprise the most hope
full men. With this favorable outlook
every man should do what he can to help
the boom along. Following are some of
the improvements of the week:
A. Galloway has made arrangements
with the Odd Fellows to put up a two
story building adjoining their building
The two buildings will have frontage
of 56 feet, and will make fine block. Mr..
Zwicker, the new architect, has drawn
plan and will superintend the construc.
ton. The Odd Fellows will occupy the
upper story of their building and the up
per story of Mr.. Galloway's will be al
ranged for offices. Work on this block
will begin at once.
J. G. Zwicker, an architect from st.
Paul, has been in the city this week, Ia
consultation with parties intending to
build. He has submitted plan for the
new front Of the First National Bank
which is very fine. 1t has been accepted,
and they will begin on it as soon as pos
sible.f The stone for the new foundation
is here, and the iron cornices and plate
glass Will he ordered at once.
D. mcpherson and r. F. Dudgeon
have returned to Austin and will open a
carpenter shop this spring. They both
worked on the Court House and are
irst-d lass workmen. There will be plen-
ty of work for carpenters this year
Con Weisel has sold his stock to Hoag
& Prescott, the new bakery concern,
who will move into their new store in
the Mason building about the first of
March. They will have every facility
for doing a large business.
Supts w illanls, of the S. AZ. Division,
will build alarge house on the lots ad-
joining g5Mr. Clausen, which he bought
last fall. This house will add very
much to the appearance of this street.
JULIO. Zwicker, St. Paul architect,
has located here, and opened his office.
He is an architect of ability, as his work
proves: There IS an excellent field here,
and we hope he will do we'll.
Mrs. Hay has sold the Zeller building
to party who will occupy it as bot.
tling works. Mr.. Pressman will proba-
bly, be associated with him.
Mrs. Hlldahl has moved her millinery
store to the rooms over Solner's dry goods
store, These are large rooms and will
make pleasant quarters.
l.. F. Clausen will build a house, adj
joining his fathers property, this spring.
1t will be a neat cottage.
